Football Game & Beach

On Saturday we had a first home football game of the season. I had so many fun pictures from our day it was truly so hard to pick just a few. We started off meeting our 2 best buds, Peyton and JD for a fun time walking around listening to the band and running away from our mascot, Chauncey.

These three are so stinkin' cute together. Peyton, Walker and JD love each other so much. All week long Walker talked about meeting his friends Peyton and JD at the football game.

Walker is absolutely in love with the band. He loves to listen and dance to the music. He pretends he is playing either the trumpet or the drums:) The band played a couple songs in the plaza before entering the stadium and we were able to have front row seats to clap and dance to the music. In between songs Walker kept saying, "More Band" or "Play Band". I tried to explain to him that the band needed a break and to be patient. A 2 yr old doesn't really have much patience:)

These two ran around like two crazy monkey's. Can't you tell by their rosy red faces. Luckily we did get them to sit and drink. Walker wanted some of Peyton's juice not his yucky water:)

JD's dad, Dave giving the boys a lift. I think JD is looking at Walker like, "Um, why is my dad carrying you around?"

The three boys enjoying a little football. We can't wait until the next football game. We made it all the way to the end of the game, plus fireworks. Wow, Walker got in bed finally at 10pm and that's super late for him. We had a great time together and look forward to many more fun times with our friends!!

On Sunday we met our friends Debbie and Kayla at the pool/beach. We had so much fun and the day was absolutely beautiful. Debbie won over Walker's heart with an ice cream sandwich at the pool. We had a great time swimming in the pool and walking down to the beach to look for "fish". Thank you all for inviting us, we had a blast!!

Children's Museum

Back in July we attended a birthday party at the Children's Museum. We were invited by one of Walker's friends at school, Corrine. We had so much fun celebrating Corrine's special day. This was our first time at the Children's Museum and we had such a good time. Walker loved playing with all of his friends from school.

Walker loved driving the ship and looking through the telescope. We pretended we were riding in the open water checking out the sharks, fish and dolphins.

First Walker drove the truck, but then Peyton said, "Move over Walker let me drive." Lauren wasn't afraid at all. She hopped right in and said, "Where are we going boys?" These three have been together since they were 2 months old and Corrine too.

Walker was checking out the turtles or maybe it was lizards.

Peyton is Walker's best buddy. We talk about Peyton all the time. These two are so much fun to watch and they are so sweet to each other.

They invited the birthday girl, Corrine to play trains with them. You can see Corrine in the middle with the pink bow in her hair.

This is a bus with a huge movie screen playing videos at the front. So cute and you know Walker loves yellow buses. I'm so glad public schools have started back...that's how I get Walker in the car in the mornings. He loves to count the buses on our ride to school.

Pinks really not his color:) We had so much fun at the museum and look forward to going back some time this winter. If we can't be beach bums then I guess we will go to the Children's Museum.

Such a fun Labor Day Weekend

We had such a fun Labor Day weekend visiting my family. I was looking forward to it so much, because I had not been home since March. It was definitely a well overdue visit and it turned out to be such a wonderful weekend. Being around the people that love you the most is such a blessing and the best feeling in the entire world!! I have the best family and Walker is truly LOVED and SPOILED rotten when we visit Moppy and Papa's house:) The weekend was also extra special because I also got to spend the entire day with my precious nephew, Logan and my brother and sister in law. Sorry for the picture overload, but I had so many to choose from and I didn't want to leave anything out.

These two had so much fun together. Logan gets to hang out on the tractors everyday, so he didn't quite understand why Walker was so excited to be in the BIG tractor. How cute does Walker look waving from the tractor? He always gets the biggest thrill out of standing on or in the tractors. Walker got to see Uncle Ben's excavator, BIG dump truck and bulldozer.

Walker loves his Aunt Mandy so much! The best Aunt Mandy he will ever have:) I absolutely adore this picture! Thanks for spending the entire day with us Aunt Mandy. We love you so much!!

Aunt Mandy, Walker and Uncle Ben posing in the pasture (the shadow is a bummer). We don't always get to see them as much as we would like. Uncle Ben has an obsession with working:) Although, Uncle Ben does have some really cool toys that Walker will always enjoy playing on. We love you Uncle Ben and look forward to seeing you again soon.

While we were visiting all of the tractors we decided to go look for Papa in the pasture and watch him cut hay. Walker loved helping Aunt Mandy drive her SUV through the pasture to look for Papa. Once we found Papa he had fun watching him and waving to him:)

Papa in the tractor cutting the hay. I wish Walker could see them actually bale the hay. I think he would be amazed with the big round bale. Maybe one day in the future Walker will have a chance to ride in the AC tractor with Papa.

The boys had such a great time playing on the swing set and chasing each other around. I wish they could spend more time together.

Here they are wrestling around in the grass after dinner. Looks like Walker is trying to choke Logan:) Just a little cousin love:)

On Sunday we went over to visit my dear friend Diana, Mason and Anna Claire. Mason and Walker always have such a good time together. It always takes the boys a few minutes to figure each other out, but once they do they have fun. It's always such a treat to see Diana. She has been one of my dearest friends since elementary school. I could not ask for a better best friend all these many years and it's so fun to watch the boys play together.

The boys hugging each other. Diana and I were laughing because they look so awkward:) They are the two cutest blonde hair, blue eyed little boys I know:):)

Not sure what they are looking for, but man they are soooo stinkin' cute!! Thank you Diana for inviting us over for a little pool time. Now, it's time for your well overdue visit to our house!!

As soon as Walker and I got back this afternoon we headed over to our 2nd families house for a cookout. We always have such a great time visiting with such great friends who treat us just like family. We are truly so blessed to have you all in our life!!

McKenzie and Patrick attempting to back flip off of the diving board. Walker thought it was so funny. He loved the big splash the "wanna be flippers" would make when they hit the water:)

We had a fabulous Labor Day weekend and we hope you did too! I am so thankful for such wonderful family and friends!!

Another Weekend in Paradise!!

It was yet again another weekend in paradise:) We had a very busy weekend with great friends on Friday night, a birthday party on Saturday and the water park on Sunday. Daddy was also a very busy man this weekend too. Daddy we love you lots and we are so proud of you!

We had friends over Friday night for pizza. Walker and Conner always have so much fun together. Walker absolutely adores Conner or as he calls him, "Nner". Conner is a perfect angel, no I'm not kidding, he really is perfect. Walker looks up to him so much. Miss Keeley missed the photo shoot. She was too tired and needed to go bed.

Walker's friend Caroline turned 3 and we had so much fun at her birthday party on Saturday. Caroline's theme was "ice cream and cupcakes". Walker could hardly stand it when he saw the cupcakes or as he says, "CAKE". All the kiddos were so cute sitting at the table together. Rob and Kelly did such a great job. We had such a great time!!

How stinkin' cute is this picture. Miss Keeley had her party dress on and Walker seemed to think she looked cute too. These two are going to love playing with each other as soon as Keeley starts to walk. Keeley is our next door neighbor. We could not ask for better friends/neighbors!! We tease each other that they are going to sneak out together.

This was our first experience taking Walker to the water park. We had such a great time. We stayed 3hrs and Walker was not ready to come home. Mommy and Daddy were exhausted and forgot sunscreen for us. Walker loved playing in the kiddie splash area. He could walk around and slide on all kinds of different slides. My favorite part was the double tube in the lazy river. Any time spent with Walker being still sitting in my lap is a favorite of mine:) He also loved the wave pool. You definitely see a lot of interesting people at the water park. I can't wait to go back next year with Walker.

This is Daddy coming down one of the speed slides. Walker loved watching us come down. They were so scary!! Luckily Daddy missed a shot of me coming down...I would not suggest wearing a bikini down the speed slides:) We had such a great weekend together!!
